Yes, a restatement of the 'how many gigabucks-funded,
alien-technology-enhanced intelligence agencies are monitoring this room
right now?' meme.

I think only left-field approaches can battle the ULE menace. For
example, a pen-pal project based on linking children to terrorists. This
might soften the terrorist, or at the worst, harden the children, making
them better prepared for reality.

If we all joined a few hundred internet-based associations, then
association with terrorists could be as commonplace as cocaine residue
on dollar bills.

I wonder if amiaterroristornot.com is taken...
